Chapter 916 - 354: My Name Is Jiang Ran (3)
Each kind of Demon Dao was obtained in a way that he reviewed once more.
When reviewing the Greed Demon Dao, Demon Slaying Dao, and Anger Demon Dao, he paused,
"Greedy Demon Lord Du Changge gathered the three Demon Daos of Greed, Slaying, and Anger, and finally handed them to me through Guan Xin... The Anger Demon Dao originally belonged to An An, so when did Du Changge gather the Greed and Slaying Daos?"
He searched through the years and found that from the moment Du Changge became the Demon Lord, he simultaneously possessed the Greed and Slaying Daos.
"No... something’s not right..."
But he couldn’t articulate it.
The All Things Law Dao continued to operate at a high intensity.
He suddenly remembered the box Liu Qingqing gave him. Inside the box were the ’Ear Lust’ and a letter. The letter contained only a simple line of text—
"Thank you for accompanying me for twenty years; this is the promised final reward."
Fan Wubing murmured,
"Twenty years... twenty years!"
He felt as if a giant hammer was pounding his heart, his consciousness trembling. So, he pushed the cycle of fate forward by twenty years once more.
This year,
was the year after the celestial calamity, when he awoke from a twenty-year slumber.
Then, he was shocked to discover that his twisted fate wasn’t just affected by those two destiny nodes but stretched over this entire twenty-year span!
"An agreement... yes, I must have made some agreement with her! She left me a clue using ’Ear Lust’! Then I..." Fan Wubing’s consciousness trembled, "I should use ’Ear Lust’ to listen... to the voice I wish to hear."
The Hearer of Silence reached its peak.
He could hear the silent sounds of all things in the world,
But at this moment, he used it solely to listen to the voice he wanted to hear.
If his consciousness was clear and his heart aligned, then the world would contain only one sound—
The desired voice.
That gentle, yet powerful voice, almost shattering Fan Wubing’s consciousness, suddenly resonated in the Hearer of Silence,
"My name is Jiang Sha."
Lightning flashed past, leaving Fan Wubing momentarily stupefied.
Moments later, he remembered everything.
Or rather, the All Things Law Dao retrieved all that he had lost.
His cycle of fate trembled briefly and quickly sank into silence.
When seen again, now there was the fate trace entwined with "Jiang Sha."
Fan Wubing had no time to celebrate because he felt a violent tearing sensation, threatening to rip his consciousness into countless pieces.
This sensation was exactly like when he resurrected Pei Weiyi and suffered punishment from the Destiny Dao!
His heart was like a clear mirror, his thoughts like thunder,
"The Destiny Dao is here!"
He very much wished to stay on the spot, to face the Destiny Dao directly, to witness this presence that controls the Great Thousand Worlds.
But Baili Yao Yue’s urging voice echoed again.
Despite his reluctance, he must calm himself silently, telling himself,
"It’s not the time, not the time!"
So, he forced himself to correct his essence, transforming from a Dao life back to real life.
In reality,
Baili Yao Yue suddenly saw a point of light. The point of light quickly extended into a line of light, then twisted and spiraled, and within a very short time, was completed.
Fan Wubing reverted to real life.
Baili Yao Yue sighed with relief, feeling a weight lifted from her heart. Although she knew, even if Fan Wubing encountered an accident, Si Jiuyou would bring him back, that wasn’t the outcome they wanted.
Baili Yao Yue stepped forward,
"Are you alright?"
Fan Wubing felt a strong desire, which he couldn’t suppress. He didn’t even notice Baili Yao Yue’s concern, looking towards the south, eagerly rose and walked out of the room.
Seeing his expression, Baili Yao Yue knew he had successfully found Jiang Ran.
She felt happy for Jiang Ran, yet somewhat sad.
Suddenly, Fan Wubing returned to her, pressed his forehead against hers, closing his eyes. This was the gesture they used when expressing their feelings to each other.
He said,
"Yao Yue, thank you... thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I can only answer your waiting in the first half of your life with the latter half of mine. Even if I eventually cannot escape the prison of fate, I will ultimately die alongside you in this home."
Baili Yao Yue’s eyes stung, her nose felt sore.
She turned her head away,
"Quickly go find her, don’t delay."
"Mm."
Fan Wubing kissed Baili Yao Yue’s forehead, then transformed into a beam of light heading towards the Taiping Continent of the Southern Celestial Land.
Deep within the ruined and decayed Slaughter Hall, in a certain bedchamber.
A dark purple coffin was opened from within,
A frail woman sat up, peering perplexedly at the dusty front. Her pale complexion gradually turned rosy, her dull eyes gradually brightened.
Suddenly, she turned her head abruptly to look.
A tall man walked in against the light.
He spoke as he walked,
"Today is the seventeenth of September, year two thousand two hundred and thirty-eight post-cultivation era, and the first year of the unnamed new era. Here, I meet you. Please remember my name, I am Fan Wubing."
The frail woman gazed at him blankly, and after a while, smiled and said,
"I’m Jiang Ran. Can I ask you to look after me for a while?"
"How long is ’a while’?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment, unable to provide a specific answer, so she happily said,
"I don’t know, but probably longer than twenty years."
